    @Geth is the worst.

    So.. damn. I tried posting, and this giant-ass scary image of Geth came up in the notification window, saying "HAHAHAHA No."

    Well, maybe not exactly that, but... Sadly, I overwrote the clipboard.

    Anyways, reposting...


    If you do [attempt the Silmarillion again], remember two things:

    1) It is a fucking bible.

    2) It was written piecemeal, and put together after his death. IE it was never meant to be read as a book, but rather as a oral tradition.

    Hence why having a reference guide that lays out things chronologically and with page numbers/references is so valuable.

    The article I posted was written in 1979

    It deals with Woody Allen's failures as a writer and our failure as a passive society


    whoops sorry you're right, I was thinking about the Didion article

    I love that art book. Still haven't slogged through Silmariilion yet though. I skimmed some of the bits about Ungoliant and her spawn.

    Huh?

    she didn't actually play the games, she stole the footage from LPs and stole some of her speeches from tvtropes

    so where did the $160,000 go

    Man, that op.

    I haven't seen such a pathetic attempt since...well, Sunday I guess.

    the man hours spent calculating and dissecting how she should have spent the money was worth it IMO

    Have you been hanging out with MRA dudes or something? also who gives a damn, I bet most of the folks complaining about how she spent the money didn't donate one red cent to the Kickstarter campaign.

    i think it is maybe not charitable to assume bad faith. i don't think override has typically expressed shiteating, mra views? why assume he is speaking from bitter fedora-ness.

    I see she bought all three of the FEAR games so she's okay in my book.

    I'd say that you can be annoyed with someone beibng a fraud even if you didn't give them any money.
    Wouldn't you agree?

    wait I think I'm not supposed to be doing this
    I think I'm cherry picking terrible things but I can't help it because it is literally every single thing that comes up when I google "Anita Sarkeesian plagiarism"

    The picture accounts for about ~$12,000 of games at the highend. Then say $50k/yr for living expenses while you played all those games and made videos about them. That actually would about account for it. I mean...depending how much money you gave and what you hoped you were getting it might be dissatisfying, but employing people full time is expensive yo.

    that doesn't really explain why she had to take videos from other youtubers for the gameplay footage

    fuck it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect me
